The Tianshan Army banners were unfurled, and there were many people, but none of them launched a real offensive. The first group of people who appeared from the Tianshan Army formation turned out to be a group of ordinary people.

The archers at the top of the city had pulled their strings to the full, but when they saw the group of people appearing, they couldn't help but relax a little.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city are native children of the Northwest, so how could they bear to do anything to their own fathers and fellow villagers.

Han Ying's complexion also became ugly.

One or two thousand people didn't come forward immediately at first, they gathered together in groups, as if they were discussing something, the defenders at the top of the city even saw that many people among the crowd were pointing at the top of the city.

"General, this...what the hell is going on?" The generals around Han Ying were stunned for a moment.

Han Ying frowned, and finally said: "Ben will understand that this is Zhu Lingyue's trick. He knows that to break through several trenches, he will have to pay a big price. The Tianshan Army is his capital. Every point he loses, he will feel that there is a lot of money in his heart." It will be uncomfortable, so he wants to use the people to fill up the trenches.

"Ah?" The generals suddenly realized.

Han Ying's expectation was right. Although the common people were discussing at the beginning, not many people dared to approach the ditch, but when dozens of people walked to the edge of the ditch first, others also came forward one after another, seeing the soldiers at the top of the city Without archery, the people became more courageous, and more and more people came to the edge of the ditch, and some people started talking about hoes, digging soil and filling the ditch.

"General, they are really going to help the Tianshan Army fill up the trenches." The generals were surprised: "It is impossible for Zhu Lingyue to bring so many people from Tianshan. These people are probably brought here from the vicinity of Hezhou City...how did they come?" Will you help the Tianshan Army?"

The defenders at the top of the city were also stunned to see the people filling the trenches in full swing.

A general frowned, "General, if we just watch, the trenches will be filled by them sooner or later. Digging trenches is difficult and filling trenches is easy. If they really fill up several trenches, our previous efforts It will go down the drain.”

"But we can't shoot them." Immediately, a general said: "These people are Hezhou people. I'm afraid there are their relatives on the top of the city. If they order to shoot, I'm afraid our own morale will be unstable. The soldiers obeyed the order to shoot arrows, and once this news spreads, people all over the world will think that our Xiguan army has killed innocent people indiscriminately. Our military strength is not as good as that of the Tianshan army, if we still lose to them morally, there will be no reason to win."

The previous general said: "These common people may not all be real common people. Zhu Lingyue is despicable and sinister. He may not have mixed with the Tianshan Army during this period. He made people put on common people's clothes and mixed in with them, grandly filling the ditch under our noses. , that is also very possible. General, it is difficult for us to defend the city. If we lose a layer of defense, we will lose a layer of chance of winning. If we lose the trench outside the city, we will be in danger."

"General, this statement is true. We can't just sit and watch the Tianshan Army easily destroy the defense line we have worked so hard to set up."

At this time, the generals argued and divided into two factions.

Han Ying knew that the situation was serious and hadn't fought yet. If there were internal disagreements, the consequences would be unimaginable, so she said in a deep voice, "Stop arguing, where is Mr. Pei?"

"I saw Mr. Pei over there before, but now I don't know where he went."

"Find Mr. Pei quickly, and ask Mr. Pei, what should we do now?" Han Ying clenched his fists.

"General, look quickly." A general pointed to the distance, "That's a cart, they...they want to use the cart to pull dirt!"

"General, the Tianshan Army has moved...!"

The Tianshan Army did move, but they didn't come towards the gate of the city, but they were divided into small groups one after another, sitting on the ground.

The infantry is in front, the cavalry is behind, thirty thousand black winds are riding behind the team, the cavalry has already dismounted, and the horses are densely packed all over the ground. At this time, the defenders can see more clearly, from the gap opened by the team, there are many People are pushing carts to the side of the ditch, and some people even use baskets to dig soil from behind, fill it with soil and send it to the side of the ditch.

The people who filled the ditch seemed to have no more scruples, and moved and filled the soil with great fanfare, which did not look like they were in the battle between the two armies.

"Folks, the defenders of the city are all the children of the Northwest. They don't know how to shoot arrows at you. If you shoot arrows, it is the law of nature." Some Tianshan generals galloped back and forth among the people on horseback, shouting loudly: "Chu Huan abandoned the county, Abandoning the common people, do you still support such a treacherous and evil person? Zhu Du knows that you are short of food and clothing. As long as you fill in the trenches, everyone can get food. The more you work, the more you will get. many……!"

"Chu Huan's order to equalize the land is just to deceive everyone. The official warehouse in Xiguan does not have enough food. He wants to rebel, so he wants to buy people's hearts. Don't be deceived by him. Zhu Du loves the people like a son. This time After Chu Huan is calmed down, everyone will be well-fed."

The shouts were like thunder, and even spread to the top of the city.

Han Ying kept furrowing his brows, the shout came vaguely, and he also vaguely understood something, and finally understood that these people were not forced to come here, but came here for food.

Food shortage in Xiguan, as we all know, although Chu Huan came to Xiguan and promulgated and implemented a series of laws and regulations, it is impossible to change the plight of food shortage in Xiguan in a short period of time.

And many people in Xiguan are starving. They really support Chu Huan's land equalization order, and they did get the land, and they are waiting to borrow food from the official warehouse to cultivate.

But hunger can make people do anything. The fruit of growing grain can only be seen after autumn. Countless people have to stand up until autumn. Now Zhu Lingyue is using food to lure the people. Driven by hunger, who can refuse ?

For the majority of the world, they don't care who is the emperor, and they don't care who is in charge of ups and downs. What they care about most is whether they can survive.

Zhu Lingyue used food to lure the people to fill up the trenches. Many people knew that filling up the trenches in the battle between the two armies was extremely dangerous, but the feeling of hunger made them willing to take the risk.

Han Ying looked at the people in full swing, and felt helpless at this moment. Han Ying didn't care about killing the enemy and throwing his head and blood, but faced with the situation before him, he didn't know what to do.

"General Han is worried about the matter in front of him?" Han Ying was looking ahead in a daze, when a voice suddenly came from his ear, Han Ying turned his head to look, and Pei Ji had arrived beside him at some point.

Han Ying smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Pei, I never thought that Zhu Lingyue would be so despicable and shameless. The fortifications outside the city that we have spent time and painstakingly building will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

Pei Ji looked down at the people in the city and asked with a smile, "What is the general going to do?"

"It's a dilemma." Han Ying shook her head: "I didn't expect Zhu Lingyue to use such a method. Perhaps there are soldiers from Tianshan among these civilians, but as long as there is one civilian among them, if they are easily shot and killed, they will definitely hurt the Governor of Chu." In the name, but if you just sit back and ignore it...!" He looked helpless.

"Zhu Lingyue is scheming and cunning, not only you, but I also didn't expect him to do something like this." Pei Ji looked deep and said softly, "But does the general still remember Chu Du's words?"

"Sir?"

"Chu Du once said that Xiguan soldiers will not hurt a single Xiguan citizen." Pei Ji said slowly, "Chu Du has an order, so naturally we cannot disobey it!"

Han Ying understood, and said, "Since this is the case, we can only sit back and watch."

"Actually, the general can choose some soldiers with good archery skills and let them shoot a few arrows. Although it won't hurt anyone, it may slow down their progress." Pei Ji said with a smile: "The morale of the Tianshan Army is now high, but the ancients There is a saying, one is enough, then it will decline, and three will be exhausted, the longer it is delayed, the morale of the soldiers of the Tianshan Army will inevitably fluctuate a little."

Han Ying's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "What Mr. said is true."

Among the Tianshan army's middle army, Zhu Lingyue was wearing armor, with his hands behind his back, looking at the city of Hezhou in the distance.

"Zhu Du really has a clever plan. When the people heard that they could share the food, two or three thousand people came willingly." A general beside him said respectfully: "The obstacles that the Xiguan people painstakingly set up, Zhu Du used a small plan , Let it fall apart, the general really admires it. Not only can those obstacles be destroyed, but these people are willing to come to help, I am afraid that it will also deal a big blow to the morale of the city."

Zhu Lingyue smiled faintly: "Pu Tong, if Chu Huan is in the city, how do you think he will deal with it?"

The general Pu Tong immediately said: "I'm afraid I don't dare to make a move. Chu Huan bought people's hearts in Xiguan and acted like a benevolent man. Under such circumstances, he must not dare to destroy his reputation."

"What would you do if you were the general who defended the city?" Zhu Lingyue asked calmly without looking back.

Pu Tong thought for a while, and then said: "The last general has never thought about it, but if the defender is really the last general, the last general will feel very troublesome, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't dare to shoot and kill easily!"

Zhu Lingyue turned his head, with a stern expression on his face, and said coldly: "Just this one sentence, you are not worthy to be a general!"

Pu Tong was stunned, and Zhu Lingyue had already said coldly: "If a general succeeds in battle, you will die, or I will die. You must not have the kindness of a woman. If you are the general who guards the city, since these people Help the enemy, that is the enemy, never show mercy to the enemy, no matter what clothes the enemy wears, regardless of men, women, old or young, but whoever is an enemy, there will be no mercy...!"

Pu Tong straightened his body and said solemnly: "I will never be taught, Zhu Du's words will never be remembered in my heart!"

Zhu Lingyue raised his hand and patted Ordinary on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "There is still a long road ahead, maybe one day, you will face the same situation, if that time really comes, you must not commit the benevolence of a woman, yes The kindness of the enemy is the cruelty to oneself, this point, you must keep in mind!"——
